Joe did not stop there as he posted again on X this time referencing MGK's fiancee Megan Fox as he wrote: 'Once you go Tiger King you'll forget about the Fox.'

As the former owner of Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park has been pleading with politicians and celebrities like Kim Kardashian to help him get out of prison he did the same with the rapper.

He wrote over the image of MGK: 'Now that we're practically a new item. Help me get the hell out of here.' 

Exotic - real name Joseph Allen Maldonado was convicted on 17 federal charges of animal abuse and two counts of attempted murder for hire in his plot to kill Big Cat Rescue owner, Carole Baskin, in 2019.

The case was the focus of highly-popular 2020 Netflix series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness.

Last February, TMZ reported that Exotic's medical team had believed his prostate cancer had spread to his bladder, however he was refusing treatment.

Meanwhile, MGK first showed off the inking in an Instagram snap on Tuesday - captioning the snap 'For spiritual purposes only.'

The black ink envelops his upper body, while a few of his original tattoos can still be seen through paneled gaps along his arms and within the cross symbol etched across his chest 

The post comes after Megan recently debuted a new sleeve tattoo while attending a Grammys viewing party.

MGK also noted that the new ink required '44 needles' in an Instagram Story. 

His tattoo artist Roxx told TMZ that the rock star engaged in a 'spiritual consultation' before diving into the process.

During this session, MGK conveyed to her that his existing tattoos no longer resonated with his current mindset, calling them 'chaotic'.

The procedure seemed to be quite a formidable task, and Roxx mentioned that MGK was the 'toughest client she's ever had'.

She also said the process started in mid-December, with MGK consistently visiting her private L.A. studio four days a week for thirteen six-hour sessions.
